I don't want to believe you, but considering that Robert E. Lee is related to George Washington (through marriage), I wouldn't be surprised.

Dude, seriously, MAD freaking respect for putting yourself through that quiz so many times. I do have a few follow up comments 1) Thank you for acknowledging your own bias. Answering questions based on how YOU think OTHERS would answer a question is a tough task. It's not easy and we just don't know how many would answer. I obviously don't agree with where every president ended up but I trust you did your best! 2) I'm in no way surprised more presidents leaned Authoritarian over Libertarian. Everyone likes checks and balances until its their power being checked. Thomas Jefferson is a great example. He would have lit himself on fire over a president having enough power to enact the Louisiana Purchase singlehandedly, plus all the military action he took as commander in chief on his own... It's human nature to throw out process when your hand is on the lever of power. 3) Woodrow Wilson being "all the way up here" was no surprise. Dude was a train-wreck-authoritarian of a president. 4) Legalized Marijuana I don't consider to be a left leaning position. The Left Right spectrum here is Economic. Marijuana is a Libertarian issue (i.e. up-down) 5) Finally, I think there needs to be a caveat for most of the Presidents; it being this: How you govern is not necessarily what your ideology/political compass is. As mentioned above, Jefferson's Ideology went out the window at times for pragmatic purposes. This could also be said about Bill Clinton in large part. What people WANT to do as President and what they ACTUALLY do as President are often, if not always, two very different things. Clinton's first two years in office were very far to the left. After the elephant stampede of '94 his remaining years were remarkably moderate. Same is true of Obama who had a Republican House for 6 of his 8 years in office. Just food for thought... Great Job Mr. Beat! Loved the video. Keep up the great work!

Except that Wilson was firmly left wing on economic policy. Mr. Beat got Wilson wrong, instead Wilson belongs on the Authoritarian Left quadrant. Wilson established the Federal Trade Commission and the income tax and the Federal Reserve. Wilson raised the top income tax to 77% in 1918. But Wilson was very authoritarian like Hitler.

You definitely nailed teddy Roosevelt's. Him on that y axis is perfect

The results may be correct if you're thinking about the US's political spectrum, but if you're actually thinking about the whole world, does anyone really buy LBJ was practically a capital C Communist? Edit: I want to add I wasn't bashing Mr. Beat or even necessarily disagreeing with him, he just answered the questions from their points of view. It's not his fault the political compass quiz is designed how it is.

I see so many memes on the Political Compass on Instagram nowadays. So many people online use the terminology of the squares, either the colors or an abbreviation of their titles, and while it is entertaining, it is annoyingly over simplistic and the jokes are effectively a four way streak of the same things over and over again. With that said though, when it comes down to the actual historical and political benefits of the compass, I do appreciate that. With that last part being clarified, I was deeply gracious and glad to see this video in my feed. Thank you, Mr. Beat, and have a great birthday!

I would expect anyone who wants to be president to lean in the authoritarian direction. Somebody who is strongly libertarian probably doesn't want to be sufficiently a part of the political system to make it to that level usually. They might also reject having that level of authority personally.

So you're helping your literal neighbor, and aside from taxation you have minimal government interference. Plus add in 95%+ Racial Ethnic Cultural Homogeneity, so very stable. It's nuanced. That can definitely be viewed as authoritarian, I mean direct income taxation literally means compromising your property rights, and your time to government.
